Submitting Your Division III to the Hampshire College Archives

Electronic Div III Submissions

Choose My DSpace and log in with your Hampshire username and password.

Choose Start a new submission.

Identify how many files your Div III comprises.

You will be led through a series of pages where you will enter information including:

your name

the date of graduation

the date of your project's completion (if different from the graduation date)

the title of your Div III

the chairperson

an abstract

subject keywords

You will be asked to accept a licensing statement that allows Hampshire College to make available (to Hampshire College users only), copy, and reformat your files for preservation purposes. You are the official copyright holder for your work. Two additional permission questions grant Hampshire the right to display your work on the College Internet website, and to supply a copy of your work on interlibrary loan.

The submission will go for review to the DSpace administrator, who will check your submission and email you with any problems. Once the submission is approved, it will be available on the web to Hampshire College users. Over the next couple of months the Div III will also be cataloged and the record for it made accessible in the Five College library system as well as on the national library database, WorldCat.
